(Rêve) d'un pays éloigné / (Dream) of a distant landProduction: Francce 2014
Summer in retrospect, flashes, and illuminations, but also in complete darkness. A mother and a daughter, not always in harmony. It is a poetic, intense film about their relation, analysed through the fragments of summer moments they have spent together. A relation as ambiguous as can be between two people so close to each other.

Abu HarazProduction: Poland 2013
Simple, contemplative shots show the life of the inhabitants of Abu Haraz – a desert village in North Sudan. For ages people have lived here to the rhythm of the flooding Nile, which irrigate the farmland. Everything will change with the construction of the great dam. The houses of the livin and the cherished ancestral graves, all is to be wiped off the face of the Earth. People from Abu Haraz will inhabit a new place. The TV will play an important role here. One of the inhabitants goes back to the village to once again see the paradise, soon to be lost. The director had been visiting Abu Haraz for seven years, documenting the last moments of the village's existence on film.

Sati
Production: Poland 2013An unbelievably beautiful snow-covered mountain emerges from the clouds before the title appears on the screen. Pathos? Kitsch? Yes, but who cares, it's still beautiful. Another shot: a woman's face, full of affection. The woman is looking to the side; the intensity of her face against the worn backrest of a soft, cozy sofa. A third explodes with light, energy, movement. The first shot shows a mountain that just sits there. The second one shows Olga, Piotr's wife. The third shot: Piotr in his element. The word sati denotes the self-immolation of a widow at her husband's funeral pyre, a ritual practised in some Asian communities.
